American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) staff met in Accra, Ghana this week to discuss pending projects in the area.

Erica Morrow, director of the Africa Division at the ASA’s WISHH program and  Josh Neiderman, regional director of the Africa Division met with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) officials.

Neiderman also hosted Daniel Keefe of Cooperative Businesses International (CBI), who is studying commodity trade and markets for U.S. agriculture exports. They met with multiple feed mills, including Seaboard Corporation which imports combined cargos of U.S. wheat and soybean meal. There is a growing market for feed stuffs in Ghana, driven in part by demand for poultry.
